Even at 1-0 up with 5 mins to go. Why are we lumping corners into the box when we hadn’t done that all game. A corner can be risky if they clear. We are so stupid this season at game management.

Oh for the days when we took it to the corner flag at OT to take the piss/ run the clock down

 

[Blue Maverick]

Ake, Akanji and to a lesser degree Stones are the only ones really out now (not counting Rodri), get them back like the Forest game and it gives the midfield confidence of a string back line should the ball come on the counter. We looked great against Forest then Ake goes down and then Akanji so our defence is screwed again leading to the rabbit in headlights when we lose a ball, there’s zero confidence we can get it back or retain it with what we currently have. If we could get a run of games with 4 CB we can put a decent enough run to get top 4. If we are constantly having to mess with the back 4 we will be fucked.

Totally agree.
Haaland has been part of the problem the way I see it.
We’re not playing his game, so he isn’t playing ours, is the way I see it.
Doku is trying hard and is the only one consistently getting to the byline. Haaland never makes a near post run to make it easy for Doku on his weaker foot. He hides at the back post behind the keeper and two defenders. Damn near impossible to pick out. Makes Doku look worse than he actually is.
His hold up play is terrible and his pressing is half hearted at best.
He doesn’t look interested in the fight we need at the moment.
The whole team is pedestrian but he walks more than most.

Aguero wouldn't have got away with this

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Is the title defence by the rags in Moyes' season currently the worst on record? We're on course (on current form) to obliterate it, mind.

So fucking what. Jesus christ.
Have those cunts won 4 in a row?

Talk about glass half full. Sorry but if we have a shitty sesson then so be it. People need to accept this team has run its course and we need new pacey young players

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Apart from the result and the piss poor performance now I've watched it. The thing that pisses me off is why do we let these cunts comeback every time.

Like that **** in a horror movie you think is dead we resurrect the bastard to bite us in the arse. I just want that fucking club of rag bastards to fuck off and die. Isn't too much to ask is it?

True but what do you see as their long term progression prospects ?


They are only a " one off " performance club adored by the media and dumbest fuckers known to man.

Only injured players are Rodri..Ake and Akanji.
Not sure injured players are the problem.
He never runs, got bullied by Harry fucking Maguire yesterday.
His goals are great but give me prime Aguero anyday

The problem is injured players are continually breaking down again, therefore the defence and midfield is continually being unsettled. We created nothing yet again. Added to the fact that our wingers offer very little and their sloppiness in possession it is clear why we are not utilising Haaland effectively. He does run but we don’t play that way to get the best of him. Hopefully with Foden over his illness/poor form things will start to improve. Aguero was levels above anything we’ve ever had upfront, a bit unfair to compare the two.

 

[levets]

There are people on here that just have it in for him.

I don’t understand it at all.

 

[levets]

Yep agreed ...... if we had Rodri back, and maybe the likes of Zubimendi alongside him , we would see see the chances count increase, and, in turn, more chances created for Haaland ...... instead, all Haaland sees now, is Bernardo creating next to nothing, Foden flitting in and out of games, and De Bruyne rarely even managing to finish a match!

For me Bernardo is the ‘Elephant in the room’. He’s been bang average for a while now and looks unhappy. He says all the right things, but he is just as guilty as anybody.

Does anyone know how that lad is who was getting cpr just as you walked around 112 ?

It was a simple question; try to remember that, yeah?
